Building a family and shaping tomorrow together!
✔️ Enhancing Professional Development & Practical Skills
In an increasingly competitive legal industry, academic knowledge alone is not enough to secure opportunities and thrive in a professional environment. Our goal is to bridge the gap between theory and practice by equipping our members with essential skills that universities often overlook.
We plan to achieve this by organizing monthly skill-based workshops covering essential topics such as networking tips, event etiquette, and career-building strategies, ensuring our members develop both professional and interpersonal skills. Additionally, we will expand mock experiences, including mooting, mock interviews, and simulated court cases, to provide hands-on learning opportunities that traditional university courses often lack. To further enrich our members’ understanding of the legal world and beyond, we will also host monthly TED Talk-inspired conferences, featuring lawyers and professionals who share insights on both legal topics and their personal passions, demonstrating how diverse interests can complement a legal career.
✔️ Strengthening the Community & Creating a ‘Family’ Atmosphere
A successful legal career requires the ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds, navigate different industries, and step outside of one’s comfort zone. Lawyers must build relationships not only within the legal profession but also with individuals who may one day become their clients or collaborators. That is why we aim to transform the Law Society into more than just a professional network—it should be a true community where members connect and support one another.
While maintaining and expanding our strong relationships with top law firms, we will also start hosting casual, member-only events to help members bond and foster meaningful relationships. We will also track each member’s attendance and engagement to ensure that everyone feels valued and has the opportunity to participate fully in the society. Additionally, we will introduce “Future Lawyers Meet-Ups” to strengthen connections within the society and organize social gatherings for major celebrations such as Halloween, Easter, Ramadan, Christmas, etc. embracing inclusivity and diversity.
✔️ Enhancing Visibility & Engagement through Digital Presence
In today’s digital world, a strong online presence is essential for any organization to grow, connect, and engage with its community. To elevate the Law Society’s reach and impact, we aim to expand our presence on social media, particularly on TikTok, to showcase Queen Mary University’s reputation, provide insights into society life, and attract wider engagement.
To ensure our events are marketed more effectively, we will collaborate with students passionate about photography to create high-quality content that highlights our initiatives and encourages participation. Additionally, we are committed to improving transparency and communication by sending post-event reports to keep members informed and engaged.
Thank you for taking the time to read our manifesto and for your support in shaping the future of the Law Society. We are excited about the possibilities ahead and committed to making the society more inclusive, engaging, and impactful. Your voice matters. Let's build a family and shape a tomorrow together.
